What We Do

Mohr Collaborative

We design and manage structured professional development programs that engage ‘high potential’ employees in developing innovative ideas into practical, profitable, customer-centric solutions.

By integrating innovation and leadership development, we help our clients develop and retain top talent and build their long-term capacity for innovation while enabling short-term, bottom-line results.

We use a team-based approach to learning design that integrates techniques for client-oriented problem solving, scenario-based thinking, strategic alignment, business plan development, organizational networking and leadership skills development. We support this with technologies and tools for virtual, global collaboration such as video-on-demand and customized ‘Web 2.0’ environments.

As a result of these programs and the innovations participants develop within them, our clients have achieved extraordinarily high and consistent financial returns. Amongst our Fortune 50 financial services clients 30-75% of “projects” from each program move forward to implementation, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue.
